I wrote a little bit more at length on the burakumin in my LJ.

I'm versed in a lot of Ethnic Studies stuff (focusing on Japan and Latin America during the 1800s or so), another interesting topic would be race relations in South America. In Colombia, one of the ways that the Spanish kept control was to turn the indigenous populations against the African populations. I wonder if there's a parallel with what the US did, but if there were one, I imagine there'd be other stuff to consider, since they had a different view of how to "contain" race in the US during the 1800s.
